RV wood framing, types of lumber used

Hi to all.

Does anybody know what common types of 2x2 lumber is used for constructing RV walls?

I can find so many posts about wood vs aluminum etc, yet nothing about what actual types of wood is being used in modern RV framing construction.

  • I doubt it would be anything exotic, probably the standard whitewood you find in lumberyards used for 2X4's. Type will vary by which part of the country the manufacturer is located. Hardwoods, and yellow pine are heavy and the hardwoods are expensive and they are harder to machine. Just a guess tho.
